Check out additional birds for sale at the Findlay Racing Pigeon Club sale/silent auction page.

The following birds are available for sale at this time. They are priced so the average person can afford them. So don't pass up some good birds just because they're not priced at several hundred dollars each. If you're at the other end of the financial spectrum, you need to realize that these are pedigreed animals and not street pigeons. The day of the five-dollar pigeon is long gone. They are priced so I can receive some reasonable return on the investment I have made in feed, time caring for them, etc.

I am selling pigeons, not paper, but I will provide whatever pedigree information I have on each bird listed.

PLEASE NOTE: 2008 saw a significant increase in postal rates. Therefore, if birds are to be shipped to you (shipping to destinations in the USA only), the shipping charge will be $45 for one bird, $50 for two birds, $65 for 3 or 4 birds, $75 for 5 or 6 birds, and $85 for 7 or 8 birds to cover the cost of postage and a special USPS-approved shipping box. More than 8 birds will require a second box.

Payment can be made via money order (I do not accept personal checks) or you can use Visa or Mastercard by clicking on the Paypal logo below. Paypal is preferred.

9.	November hatch 2007 blue check hen, bred from the race team, approximately half Janssen. Dam is pure white Delbar/Janssen/Meuleman; sire is a Janssen cross that also goes back to my "chrome" line. Sire was 8th against 165 birds at 135 miles and 5th at 190 miles. Full pedigree.	$35
